Condition & Value
Condition Grade
Very Fine (CGC 8.0)
Condition Details
Minor spine stress marks visible on the left edge; slight corner blunting on the bottom right; minor surface wear; overall flat and structurally sound with good color saturation.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $7 | Graded (9.8): $25 - $40
Recent Sales
Recent raw copies in similar condition average $4.00 plus shipping. Graded copies for this specific late 80s run have low demand, typically selling close to grading costs.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth professional grading. The cost of CGC/CBCS submission would exceed the current market value of the book unless it was a guaranteed 9.9/10.0 grade.
Notable Features
Part of an 8-issue weekly limited series. No major first appearances; notable for the character 'M' logo in the UPC box and its role in the 1988 company-wide crossover event.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with authentic DC 1988 print stock. High-quality registration on the 'Millennium' logo and correct Direct Edition indicia in the lower left corner.
